La Niña weather pattern relaxes, bringing global implications
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced on Thursday that a key weather feature that affects global temperature and precipitation has shifted into a “neutral,” or average, state. La Niña, one of the factors behind last year’s extremely active Atlantic hurricane season and a contributor to below-average rainfall in the South and Southwest, has faded away….In California, any drought relief associated with the end of La Niña won’t come during the dry season that runs well into next fall.
